RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET.

MAY 3, isSI.
The decrease in loose tobacco receipts aud
sales TO date for 1852 is about % per cent ~
compared with 1885, and the season for loose Is
about over. Continued light receipts Of leaf
only tend TO confirm the estimate Of the short
age Of the 1885 crop. As 10 quality there IS no
improvement noticeable as the season I'D
vanccs, and IL is In consequence that there is
little, If any, In proyement in prices the differ
ence in order and the length OF time carried
considered. The few Ano grades Of dark leaf
sel at fun prices. There is also considerably
more frost than was expected, showing moro
as tie tobacco gets dryer Fine bright wrap
pors arc not in supply equal 70 demand either
in old or new, but Of good medium ami good
Wrappers there Is an abundance. The demand
for low grades Of plug has drawn heavily upon
common bright wInppors, and these begin 10
show some fiimness and stocks are fast dimin-
ishiRg. The market has been quiet this week
for good wrappers, ana In filters there has been
little doing Tue market may be termed sli ght-
ly nrmer. The decrease in stock for the month
OF April was lob hogsheads and IA tisrces.
